Spirit Hall.
Inside the Pope Palace.
A woman radiating an aura of intense nobility sat atop the Pope's throne. She elegantly crossed her legs, her pretty face lightly resting against her right fist. Her expression was cold, frost hidden in her eyes, and the authority she exuded made people unable to resist worshipping her. At that moment, she was like a female emperor who had descended into the mortal world—coldly gorgeous, beautiful, and majestic!
She wore a black robe embroidered with golden patterns, a Nine-Curved Purple Gold Crown on her head, with a Purple Gold Imperial Staff resting beside her. That was right—she was Spirit Hall's current young female Pope, Bibi Dong!
"You're saying that in a remote region of the Heaven Dou Empire, there appeared a prodigy with Twin Martial Souls and at least level sixteen Innate Soul Power?" There was a trace of interrogation in Bibi Dong's icy tone.
Yue Guan, standing below, looked at the letter in his hand and said, "Yes, Your Holiness. The letter says that in a place called Holy Soul Village in Fasinuo Province of the Heaven Dou Empire, a prodigy with Twin Martial Souls and at least level sixteen Innate Soul Power has appeared. However, based on the information from there, this prodigy seems to have little interest in our Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong frowned slightly and thought to herself, Generally, Innate Soul Power can reach no higher than level ten. Other than me, who possessed Innate Soul Power at level twenty, this is the first time I've encountered someone above level ten. Yet he has no interest in Spirit Hall?
At that thought, Bibi Dong's lips curled into a cold smile. "Yue Guan, go recruit this person. No matter what method you use, bring him over to me. A prodigy like this is rarely seen even once in a thousand years. Of course, if he refuses to recognize the times, then kill him. Since such a prodigy is not one of us, leaving him alive will only cause trouble."
Geniuses? Prodigies? Spirit Hall had never lacked them!
Meanwhile, Xiao Feng and Tang San had already arrived outside Nuoding City.
"Brother Xiao Feng, is this Nuoding City?" Looking at the city gates before him, Tang San, who was seeing the outside world for the first time, could not help but marvel.
Following the system's instructions, Xiao Feng nodded. "This is Nuoding City, the place where we'll live for six years."
"Six years?" Tang San asked in confusion.
"The Junior Soul Master Academy has six grades, one grade per year. That makes six years."
"So that's how it is." Tang San finally understood.
"Alright, let's find somewhere to eat first, then go report to the academy."
"Okay."
Afterward, Tang San followed Xiao Feng into Nuoding City. Xiao Feng went straight to a roadside stall, and they had themselves a roadside meal. Why not go to an inn or restaurant? Xiao Feng felt that none of those places could compare to roadside food. Besides, he thought the food at inns and restaurants tasted awful—not nearly as good as homemade food.
After eating, Xiao Feng took Tang San to a household goods store. The two each bought some daily necessities, naturally paying for their own things. Ever since Tang San's father stopped being depressed, Tang San's life had improved, and his purse had grown fuller as well.
After finishing their purchases, Xiao Feng asked the clerk to deliver them to Nuoding Academy at noon. The two then left, heading directly for Nuoding Academy. Before that, though, they bought themselves a set of neat clothes. As for the reason, Xiao Feng would never admit it was to leave a good impression on some rabbit, making it easier for him to lure her—cough, cough—no, to trick her away—cough, cough. Anyway, that was the idea.
"System, do you have something exclusive for rabbits... you know."
[Brilliant, Host. Unlimited Space Necklaces filled with carrots in every flavor are already on the way.]
"As expected of my good system. You really get me."
[Of course!]
Before long, Xiao Feng and Tang San arrived at the entrance of Nuoding Academy. Seeing that familiar gatekeeper from the original story, Xiao Feng secretly thought, This bastard won't make the same mistake, will he?
As soon as the two approached, the gatekeeper called out to them.
"Who are you?"
This time, the gatekeeper's attitude was indeed much better than in the original story. He did not immediately look down on them.
"We're new students at Nuoding Academy. We're here to register," Xiao Feng said. Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper immediately smiled. "I see. Then could you show some proof? After all, it's my job..."
Xiao Feng and Tang San understood what he meant, so they each took out the Martial Soul certificates that Su Yuntao had issued them.
When the gatekeeper took the certificates, his smile immediately vanished. He looked at the documents, then at Xiao Feng and Tang San before sneering disdainfully. "Do you take me for an idiot, or do you think I'm that easy to fool?"
After saying that, the gatekeeper threw the certificates in his hand onto the ground and said with even greater contempt, "Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power? An Immortal Killing Sword and a Mutated Martial Soul Husky with at least level sixteen Innate Soul Power? Twin Martial Souls? Who the hell are you trying to fool?"
"Looking at what you're wearing, I thought you two were children from some wealthy family. Turns out you're work-study students from Holy Soul Village. Could a work-study student from some tiny village produce people like you? Could you even afford clothes like these? I bet you stole them. This is hilarious. Alright, get lost already. You actually came here to scam people. There really are all kinds of idiots these days."
As he spoke, the gatekeeper impatiently began chasing them away.
At that moment, Tang San was stunned, and so was Xiao Feng. He truly had not expected this kind of nonsense to happen, and he was speechless. This guy really does look down on people like a dog. Being ignorant and uneducated is terrifying. He's completely like a frog at the bottom of a well. Sigh.
The next second, Tang San was about to say something, but Xiao Feng stopped him. Without a word, Xiao Feng silently rolled up his sleeves and, without further ado, gave the gatekeeper a barrage of Fire Rising Root!
After taking that combo, the gatekeeper finally realized he had been an idiot, but it was already too late. Just as Xiao Feng was getting into it, a deep, weathered voice shouted, "Stop!" causing Xiao Feng to sigh again.
"You've got to be kidding me. I came early, so how am I still running into that bastard Yu Xiaogang?"
Tang San turned around and saw a short-haired man in a black robe walking over from the distance. This man was none other than Yu Xiaogang, the continent's number one coward and scumbag.
However, Xiao Feng paid Yu Xiaogang no attention and continued beating the gatekeeper as he asked, "Do you admit you were wrong? Will you keep running your mouth next time?"
"Ah admid id! Ah won' run mah mouf nexd dime!"
Only after receiving a satisfactory answer did Xiao Feng release the gatekeeper's collar. By then, Yu Xiaogang had finally arrived before them.
The moment the gatekeeper saw Yu Xiaogang, he scrambled and crawled over to him, accusing Xiao Feng of violence. Yu Xiaogang frowned deeply and asked, "Why did you hit him?"
Xiao Feng shot him an indifferent glance. "What, are you an academy teacher? Or are you this dog's owner? I beat your dog, so you want to stand up for it? Like master, like dog! You pieces of trash who look down on people like dogs—ptui!"
"I..."
Before Yu Xiaogang could finish, Xiao Feng cut him off. "I what? Believe it or not, if you say one more damn word, a fist that can kill a five-hundred-pound pig will land on your scrawny, kidney-deficient body."
"You!"
"You what? Never seen someone as handsome as me? I know you're ugly. Being ugly isn't your fault, but coming out and scaring people is. So now, immediately, get the hell out of here, punk! Of course, if you're an academy teacher, then pretend I never said any of that."
Watching Xiao Feng fire off insults without pause, Yu Xiaogang nearly failed to catch his breath. He swore that he had only wanted to ask why Xiao Feng had hit someone, yet Xiao Feng had opened with such a "friendly greeting" that he was practically rendered mute. All he could do was glare furiously at Xiao Feng.
"What are you staring at your dad for? Look at that ugly fucking face of yours. Believe it or not, I'll beat you too—beat you so badly your mother won't recognize you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Feng directly pulled out the Immortal Killing Sword.
Tang San, standing nearby, thought, I think I finally understand what Brother Xiao Feng meant by a "friendly greeting." At the same time, Tang San secretly swore that he would never argue with Xiao Feng in the future. Otherwise, he might not even know how his father had died.
Suddenly, Yu Xiaogang spat out a mouthful of blood and pointed tremblingly at Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng's response was: "Is that all?"
